if i needed to power a pump with these specifications:
1.5hp, 240v, 8a
how many watts would the wind turbine need to supply?

International companies are acceptable as well. Does anyone know of any companies which are in the solar or wind (or any alternative source of energy) power industry? Or any innovative companies as well.
Thank you

Trying to find out what games, sports, or toys that use wind power..... I know of a kite! But thats about it.

Wind Power The electrical power generated by a
windmill varies jointly with the square of the diameter
of the area swept out by the blades and the cube of the
wind velocity. If a windmill with a 10-foot diameter
and a 16-mile-per-hour wind generates 15,392 watts,
how much power would be generated if the blades
swept out an area 12 feet in diameter and the wind
speed was 15 miles per hour?

Need some help for an assignment.
ALSO............
2 examples of where wind power is used
How does this form of energy impact on people's live??

THANKS

What I mean by that question is, which method is the most efficient and the least polluting?

How easy is it to install wind power?
Where can one buy wind power?
Are there grants available for wind power?
Wind power tax breaks?

Please provide source links.

I also have a garage roof peaked, to me wasted space south facing. How much to have someone come and install a system, that perhaps pays for itself in 5 years ? Single guy alot of computer , one small ac at night,fridge normal stuff
thanks and any recommendations ?
i would not mind if it just did half my ussage

i just need a simple answer. what was wind power used for in australia 100 years ago?

How do you answer a question like "When did Tokyo start to use wind power?"?
I thought the answer should be "it started to use it in 1996." or more simply "In 1996 ." But now I'm wondering if there are other ways to answer the question.
In this case, is it wrong if you answer like these.
1."It did so in 1996."
2."it did it in 1996."
3."It did in 1996."
4. "So did it in1996"

I really appreciate your help.

exactly what the question asks, thanks

I have been wondering about the wind power, like windmills lately, here's some other things i wondered
Where is one of the largest wind farms in the world? how many wind turbines are on that largest wind farm?
which country generated the mostwind energy? How much did they generate in 2003?
which country generated 686 megawatts of wind enerrgy?
U.S. wind energy can power how many U.S. homes?

I would like to buy a small wind generator and just add the negative and positive wires to the negative and positive wires in my Harbor Freight Solar Panel kit. The Harbor Freight Solar Panel kit's charge control will still protect the battery from over charging right? Even though the charge controller would be buffering more wattage then what the manufaturer probably intended it to buffer? If so, could there be long term implications on the charge controller or battery?

how will these alternative's help us individual humans and big businesses?
please explain.
thank you soo much.

how would you go about providing power for a home?

a They can partially reduce the need for coal and nuclear power.
b They will never reduce the need for coal or nuclear power.
c They are too expensive to be considered.
d They are still far off because of the technology needs to be developed.
e Until they can supply a large amount of energy, they should not be considered.

Wind turbines generate electricity through magnetic induction. The blades turn a rotor lined with magnets through copper coils, thus generating voltage. The question is WHAT determines the power output. If the wind is constant, is it the strength of the magnets? Or the length of the copper wire in the coils? Any way a lay-person can figure this out and come up with reasonable voltages expected?

i mean doesn't it make more sense to use alternative energy?

I'm not looking forward to paying my electricity bill, especially because I almost always have my computer on doing something intensive. I know it's possible, but how difficult is it to get some solar panels or a small wind turbine and somehow use it to generate electricity?
